Previous studies indicate that the southward migration through Oregon lasts about two months (Herzing and Mate 1984). However, 90% of the whales migrated past Yaquina Head between December 19 and January 23. The northward migration through Oregon is divided in two phases. Phase A, which comprises adults without calves, begins during the last week of February with a peak in mid-March.
Blue Whales can be spotted in the southern California area from about June through October, although it is not unusual to see blue whales in the area in December. Blue Whale can reach speeds in excess of 30 mph for a short amount of time. However, when with other whales, they usually travel at about 12 mph.
